Q

What is trajectory shift (spin stabilized projectiles) and as a result where should you aim towards a target (assuming 90 deg deflection)?

A

boreline axis of wpn differs from flight path causing a change in direction and velocity of the projectile.

Q

What is the port-starboard effect?

Does the AH-1Z compensate for it?

A

When firing flex weapons, the effect of trajectory shift and projectile drift results in the port-starboard effect. When firing at targets on the port side (i.e., left), the effects of drift and shift compound each other because both effects are to the right. To hit the target with the weapon system, the gunner must apply correction for both ballistic effects by firing to the left (i.e., near side) of the target. When firing to the starboard side (i.e., right), the effect of projectile drift (the round moves right) tends to cancel the effect of trajectory shift (the round moves left) and less compensation is required.

Yes

Q

What is projectile jump (vertical plane gyroscopic effect)?

Where should the gunner aim?

Is it compensated for in the AH-1Z?

A

If a projectile is fired in any direction other than along the line of flight, an initial yaw because of the crosswind will be induced. A projectile elevation jump is produced that is proportional to initial yaw. For a projectile with a clockwise spin, firing to the right produces a downward jump and firing to the left produces an upward jump.

The gunner must aim slightly below the target when firing to the left and slightly above when firing to the right unless firing from a hover.

Yes (For off-axis 20mm firing in the AH-1Z, the integrated stores management processor and low airspeed air data system (LAADS), in conjunction with dynamic ranging, will compensate for both port-starboard effect and projectile jump.)
